Portuguese Republican Party

The Portuguese Republican Party was a liberal political party in Portugal that was active from 1876 to 1926. The party was formed with the consent of King Luis I of Portugal, and it supported anti-clericalism, republicanism, radicalism, and anti-monarchism, opposing a constitutional monarchy in favor of establishing a republic. In 1910, a republican revolution in Portugal overthrew the monarchy, and it controlled 229/234 seats in the government formed in 1911. The party splintered into several factions in 1912, but it was not until 1926 that it was formally dissolved.
